Every day we keep hearing about more and more people who test positive for COVID-19. It’s hard to tell if the statistics are true since not everyone is being tested, and there are people who have no symptoms at all but still have COVID-19. It’s important to keep this thing at bay and to practice self-isolation at this weird time. No one is immune to this, not even celebrities. In fact here are a few of the celebs who tested positive and shared the news with the world in order to tell people about the importance of self-isolation.
